What a ball from Higuain.
I must say, deserved victory.
Agreed. Roma have definitely lost that extra step compared to last season imo. Their midfield has taken a huge hit with the loss of Nianggolan and Strootman plus De Rossi's rapid decline.
But make no mistake, these are a massive 3 points for us. We have a game in hand and lost to Napoli at the San Paolo, so we're doing okay so far considering the difficult fixture list to start with and having the Genoa game postponed

Laxalt was superb, even defensively. And I agree that Castillejo looked promising.
Agreed. Laxalt is such a smart attacking player, his runs are always great, I'm glad we brought him in as I've always really liked his style. Had he started we'd have probably scored a couple more in hat first half, Rodriguez is so slow and lethargic.
Suso better watch out, he might find himself on the bench as well if Castillejo can get his footing, he's been disappointing in both games so far. Really slow and predictable.
Glad to see Bona playing well again after last season. Hakan was one of our best players out there before he tired out. So some positives today for sure
A shout out to Biglia as well who was very good.
